The Supreme Court rules in favor of peasants

Regarding the legal action that 1,770 peasants filed to be included in the census, the court ordered the Government to define the concept of peasant, to include this population in the census, and to advance public policies that ensure their material equality.

The Supreme Court of Justice made a decision regarding the legal action that 1,770 male and female peasants filed last November, where they asked to be included in the population census. The Criminal Chamber of the Court emphasizes that the State needs statistical information on agricultural workers because this is the only way to take them into account in the creation of public policies that guarantee their right to material equality. In other words, so that they can enjoy all their rights in similar conditions to the rest of the population.
